Same here. I'm not that familiar with him until today, when I decided to check out some early Iron Chef America and he just really comes off as arrogant.
There is something about this guy I just can't stand. I try to watch him on his shows and I have to turn it off....he just irks me in some way. Not a fan.
The *REAL* Iron Chef was my favorite food show ever. When that moron disrespected Kitchen Stadium & Masahara Morimoto, I was done with him way back then…
That's the main reason I hate him so much. That and all of the cheating. I love Morimoto the absolute most and Bobby Flay has always been a complete jerk.
Oh get over it. It was literally the first time they had ever met in competition and how was he supposed to know it went against Japanese etiquette? He's not Japanese... it's not like it was some kind of targeted attack against Morimoto. The fact that Morimoto came and joined Iron Chef America after tells me he wasn't that bothered by it.
@@foskco87its not just Japanese etiquette it is KITCHEN etiquette Anyone who cares about cooking knows standing on your cutting board, stepping on anything in the kitchen that is used REGULARLY is massively disrespectful to cooking culture as a whole Kitchen utensils and appliances should be treated with absolute care, they are sacred in culinary culture, so him standing on his cutting board was a slap in the face to all of us who genuinely love cooking
I beleive this because he cheats on the show all the time. the first juges go and taste the oponents food and then say outloud stuff that tells Bobby wich ingredients to add to be more like the others food. he adds this and that gives him the edge to win. I have seen this done too many time. just see the african guys episode lol it's so clear the juge taste the food and say hum that good and smoky. then Bobby adds peanut butter to his recipe. clearly cheatting. that is just one example of many. he would have lost but he won. lol
@@christineblack4654 He does cheat, there is a entire video on that. He would show up to these hometown competitions with a full crew, stacked equipment and expensive ingredients. The chef(s) he was facing weren't aware of this out of no where bullshit and this is only one example.
I thought Bobby Flay’s arrogance was WHY people watch him. He’s what we in the wrestling world refer to as the “heel.” Meaning, he’s the guy you want the contestant to beat because he’s an arrogant yet talented jerk.
I question the competition he had one time on the original Iron Chef where he won! Then to add insult to injury he jumped on the table- VERY DISRESPECTFUL!
Charming? Humble? Two adjectives that do NOT describe Bobby Flay. Oh, and he won't tip wait staff when he dines out, even though he makes them jump through hoops all night long
I think his show Beat Bobby Flay was a joke. Second round he even admired he didn’t know how to make stuff so he’d make something random.and win the round. Just another show for Food Network to feed his ego!
As an extremely talented cook, he's able to beat most challengers even at their signature ethnic dishes he'd never cooked before. Reasons why? He wins on taste, and that's what the judges in a blind taste test are looking for. Besides, his guest cooks are always trying to be extravagant and do too much in the limited time they have, so they make crucial mistakes.
@@deanronson6331 ... Exactly. Flay knows that the secret to winning is keeping to the script and not playing too far outside the box. If you are making a classic dish ... make something that t least resembles it in taste. Sometimes calling it "deconstructed" just doesn't cut it, so Flay beats them with something 'properly constructed'.
@@jamesforbes2871 I'm not sure I follow. Are you talking about Beat Bobby Flay? On that show, most of the time, Bobby's making dishes he's never made before in his life or maybe once or twice. He can't afford to experiment with such unfamiliar fare. Therefore, he tries to get as close to the authentic dish as he knows how, relying on his hard-to-beat talent of extracting flavor, his superior experience in competitive cooking on TV, and sense of timing. His competitors often come close but then make that little mistake that sink them with the jury. When he was cooking on Iron Chef, the idea of that show was to be as creative, original, and experimental as possible, so he was going for those criteria full blast and mostly winning.
@@deanronson6331 ... I was a cook many years ago. Either the "game" is what you can invent on your own (Iron Chef), which requires a special kind of talent and much experimentation, instinct and luck ... or you stick to the "rules" of classic cooking technique. 'La Repertoire do la Cuisine' provides most of the basics and expected ingredients. In Beat Bobby Flay, the challenger offers the challenge. All cooks know what they are, even if they have never cooked them. If I have tasted a dish, I can recreate it almost exactly. The judges have that taste, look and feel in their minds, going in. That gives Flay a subtle advantage. I usually know the outcome well before the judging ... but always after the comments.
@@deanronson6331 ... I had some further ideas about Flay's success. I know how he does if. He doesn't have the near god-like culinary skills of many Iron Chefs. He has high intellect, an excellent palate and an impressive "nose" for building flavour. It's a kind of intuition ... like a musician with tastes. He has the 'touch'. That can't be taught in culinary school. One simply knows when the flavours are right.
Literally nothing this video references is remotely damning. “He has a show where he beats people at cooking” and “Business owner who has been sued (which is every business owner with more than 10 employees)” are the best you got?
The problem with "Throwdown" is that he ambushed people. Many of them were just cooks. They don't know in advance that they will have to face-off with Bobby Flay. A few made a living from beating him, such as Cowboy Kent Rollins who has a very successful UA-cam channel after spanking Flay. But others just got spanked on national TV, by someone who knew way in advance, and could prepare with two professional chef assistants to show up and surprise some cook.
@@teddymartinii1979 hmm, it's a shame they couldn't just say no....oh wait, they could. They wanted the publicity, plain and simple. Win or lose their business spiked, guaranteed.
@@gromlek8327 it's been awhile since I watched it, but don't people in town request the throwdown? Like, it isn't flay just searching for challengers, but the chefs friends contacting and saying "hey, he's a big fan of throwdown and a great cook. Challenge him?"
@@jangelaclough5457 I don't remember either, it's been so long. But it remains true, the owner/operators could refuse to participate. They loved the attention the show brought to them, and rightfuly so, it's a great way to get noticed on a larger scale.
My first impression seeing him, not knowing he was a cook or whatever, was that he seemed like someone who's bottling up a lot of stress & hypertension. And was one misshapen from boiling over.
Bobby Flay is the worst on Food Network, and that's saying something when you've got Paula Deen, Robert Irvine, Giada, Michael Symon, Sandra Lee, Rachael Ray, Ina Garten, Michael Chiarello, and so many other repulsive turds to choose from. And wow, y'all picked the Ben Sargent chowder episode of Throw Down to highlight as one of the worst, guess y'all forgot that Doughnut Plant guy Mark Israel and that train wreck of an episode.
When Amanda Freitag made a reference to ‘competing’ blenders , I’m thinking that Bobby Flay wants to stand out from his competitors by making his blender sound really loud. Next time I’m turning down the volume on my tv during the heat, in Bobby’s kitchen.
@@sixmarch His restaurants are far from being considered fine dining in NYC. There are hundreds of better places n NYC for less money. Mesa Grill in NY was good it's day but it was before he became an egomaniacal celeb chef.
There has to be a lot more about him than any of us outside Food Network or his businesses know. Usually people in show biz don't last as long as he has on Food Network if they're complete a**holes.
I like him but I only know him from television. He is confident in skills and he may be grumpy I don’t know, but his television personality seems perfectly acceptable to me and I ate like him . I have heard some scandalous talk about him but isn’t that always the way with celebrities? And I said I don’t know him personally but I don’t dislike him in fact I seek out his shows because I like the way they are presented and I admire his ship skills.
Went to Gato(before covid) and I didn’t even realize I was sitting next to him till everyone who was walking by was asking for a pic. He didn’t turn not one down. I as well took a pic and it was him who was asking me questions and initiating the convo. As far as him beating home cooks and restaurant chefs, wth do you expect? It’s his show. Please beat me anytime on national tv. You know the exposure I’ll get? That helps businesses. Sad that media is mostly about bringing people down. Post all the good he does
Are you talking about Guy Fieri? He's not a chef. He's just a guy who visits mom and pop restaurants all over the country, tries their food, and tries to be funny while watching the cooks do their thing. It's inexcusable and incredible for anyone who lives in America, has cable TV, and watches Food Network not to have heard of Flay.
@@deanronson6331 Guy Fieri's background is in restaurant *management*. He won the second season of "Food Network Star," and we've been inundated with him ever since.
@@figmo397 He won the FNS because, obviously, he could cook as well as shoot the shit. Food network wouldn't have him on so often if he weren't making tons of money for them. Besides, Guy has probably done more with his traveling show for small restaurant owners of this country than anyone else. If Triple D visits your eatery, it's a badge of approval, and your business future is assured. I've visited all the Triple D restaurants where I live, and they are invariably excellent.
Bobby flay just gets regular good food and massacres it with black beans and corn. That's literally all I've seen him do. He's a hack and I've never liked him
Giada standing up for Flay is like Stalin standing up for Hitler. I’ve heard nothing but horrible things about Giada from every person I’ve know to work for her and her restaurant here in Las Vegas.
Notice they never said that flay was ever set up to win... it's competitions he just happens to be pretty fuckin good at them if they want more air time get on next food network star. Is he a perfect human being without any shortcomings?...are you ?.....is anyone. He's a extremely talented chef, not a icon of morality
Beat Bobby Flay is SO fixed. Sometimes I think they sit there & say, ok this guy will win, and then make it happen. As others say, he wins making things that aren’t even what he was supposed to make! WTF people!!
the excuse for bad treatment of others is that the job is stressful, But like any job , if you can't handle the stress, find another job. The chef sets the pace and stress level, so it's all there fault, no excuses excepted.
Whatever. Nothing the narrator is saying is actually shown in the video, except his victory dance, which they didn’t actually show Morimoto’s comments. I know a judge who has been on the Beat Bobby Flay show multiple times and he said Bobby is very nice and polite.
Flay is a piece of shit through and through but 3:04 - 4:19 is describing the corporate standard in employee compensation for the restaurant industry as a whole. You don't need to seek out or manufacture contempt to demean Mr Flay, his actions do the heavy lifting for you. Having 5 bad things to point out about him isn't anymore damning than 4. You don't have to pad the runtime
There is absolutely nothing wrong with cheering for yourself. Thinking you are the shit!! You are your own best friend and your own worst enemy. He is confident but he has what it takes to back it up. This video is out of line. The man is like the Floyd Mayweather of food. Stop hating!
7/25/22: From time to time they air the Beat Bobby Flay show back-to-back and I have watched a few, but I have to admit that it gets rather boring after a while when he’s constantly winning each and every solitary competition. I mean, I literally watched five in a row the other day and he won every single one of them, including dishes he's never cooked before? Come on now, we all know the man can cook, so why air so many of his shows when the outcome is going to be the same? It’s very rare when someone else wins. Food Network PLEASE reserve some space for other shows for the public to watch? I’m now in the habit of, whenever I see his show on the roster, I quickly look to see something else ‘cause it’s boring seeing him win all the time.
Oh, for crying out loud!!! Really? What a lame story. The celebrity chef I'd love to meet is Bobby Flay. After watching this, he sounds like a real hoot of a guy. I wonder what secrets would come outabout you and your personality if I dug deep enough...
Comment section is just full of people who are jealous. Lol. Nobody here knows Bobby Flay, and anybody who really knows him wouldn’t tell us the “truth” anyway. It literally doesn’t matter. He seems happy enough, likes what he does, good for him. And yeah, you can’t make it that high without stepping on people. Don’t be a turd that gets stepped on, that’s all I have to say.
Please, for the love of whatever, have someone check your announcer’s pronunciation of Japanese names/words before signing off on publication. Every video which involves her pronouncing one makes Peggy Hill sound like a native Spanish-speaker by comparison.
A holes don’t last on TV for as long as he’s been on. This is click bate and I’m not buying all the “I heard” bs in the comments. I watch BBF all the time
I am in the business, there are always assholes in the kitchen, plus alcohol, drugs, this is icing on the cake, if people really knew the people cooking for them in the fancy restaurants, it would be a whole different shit show haha!
@@deanronson6331 cause they cook the food....New restaurant in town called 66 steakhouse.Well known car dealership SON. HIS restrauant got Fined.Cheesecake OLD,outdated.
@@m.walker7907 You're giving me one single example to bolster your cockamamie thesis? If we fired all the kitchen staff given to alcohol and drugs, half of the restaurants would have to close down. If we did the same to all employed Americans, the country would have to close down.
I've known Bobby to be humble, with women he might be a flirt but nice, only when serious about a woman does he open the budget so to speak, but great guy, fun to cook with, but is serious in the kitchen.. stories are stories sometimes
I've never liked Bobby Flay because he's arrogant. There's nothing wrong with being confident and knowing your worth, but this man is too full of himself. It's an ugly look. All he cooks is spicy foods and it gets old.
Emeril Lagasse was the best cooking show, the food channel has some good chefs on in the 90s early 2000s now it's all Guy Fieri grocery games and head games
Too many sheep in his audience on the fraud/setup show referred to as " Beat Bobby Flay". His dishes are normally last for the tasting judges and, he spices up everything. I don't know if he's really good or just classically lucky.
if I could be honest with everyone here I think most of the things that’s being said is just 🐂💩 and made to slander Bobby Flay, it’s the same thing for Guy Fieri, I mean for the love of the lord please stop judging these people and let them live their lives for god sake I mean seriously what the hell is wrong with you people?!
I grew up watching Bobby Flay. I actually think his confidence assisted me in not being so shy. Hey, if you’re good at what you do why not be happy about it? I know he seems like a jerk to some, but I’ve always loved watching his and just felt that he was very enthusiastic.
I dont watch this show anymore because the first juges cheat!! they go and taste the guys stuff then give hints outloud to Body right there waiting for it. like oh it's good and smoky and other stuff like this. So in cooking langage this means add peanut butter because that makes it smoky etc... wich Bobby does and all this helps him win when he should loose. NOT COOL!! I have seen this done too many times on this show. If you dont know what to do to win the fare way then take the loss Bobby, don't cheat!
If you could meet one celebrity chef, who would it be?
Jacque Pepin or Sara Moulton
Gordon Ramsay
Alton Brown
Emeril. Bam Bam Bam
Automatic: Chef Ramsey. Bobby Flay needs to quit playing and sign those papers so the two can face off in Vegas!
He always seemed like a jerk to me. Giada is a jerk as well.

Then they had that whole special with them "touring" Italy together.

Whatever. Nothing the narrator is saying is actually shown in the video, except his victory dance, which they didn’t actually show Morimoto’s comments. I know a judge who has been on the Beat Bobby Flay show multiple times and he said Bobby is very nice and polite.
So much hate in here. Lots of haters.
Flay is a piece of shit through and through but 3:04 - 4:19 is describing the corporate standard in employee compensation for the restaurant industry as a whole. You don't need to seek out or manufacture contempt to demean Mr Flay, his actions do the heavy lifting for you. Having 5 bad things to point out about him isn't anymore damning than 4. You don't have to pad the runtime
I NEVER liked Flay! His arrogance and ego were apparent from my first knowledge of him 23 yrs ago. Hate him!!
Agree. 😄
Bobby Flay is a great chef BUT nobody beats
Julia Child...
Regardless if he's obnoxious or not liked, he is very talented and knows his stuff. He's not in a popularity competition.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with cheering for yourself. Thinking you are the shit!! You are your own best friend and your own worst enemy. He is confident but he has what it takes to back it up. This video is out of line. The man is like the Floyd Mayweather of food. Stop hating!
Hello, how are you doing, I'm John. Nice meeting you
Actually Flay used to always lose in his show throw down with Bobby flay
😂 No, he doesn't!
Gordon Ramsay, Anthony Bourdain, Emeril, Justin Wilson in that order.
One point four hundred and eighty five million dollar property. LMAO.
Favorite? I stopped watching Food channel.
I like him but refuse to watch him when he is paired up with Giada . 🤢
I guess that's what they mean by "beating" Bobby Flay.
Kent Rollins beating Bobby Flay in throw down is my favorite episode.
Cowboy Kent Rollins is the real deal.
His cookbooks are good.kent Rollins.
The most annoying part for me is he always wins there's so many talented chefs that ain't given a chance to win 😔
7/25/22: From time to time they air the Beat Bobby Flay show back-to-back and I have watched a few, but I have to admit that it gets rather boring after a while when he’s constantly winning each and every solitary competition. I mean, I literally watched five in a row the other day and he won every single one of them, including dishes he's never cooked before? Come on now, we all know the man can cook, so why air so many of his shows when the outcome is going to be the same? It’s very rare when someone else wins. Food Network PLEASE reserve some space for other shows for the public to watch? I’m now in the habit of, whenever I see his show on the roster, I quickly look to see something else ‘cause it’s boring seeing him win all the time.
You don’t get this successful without stepping on some throats. No new...
Exactly lol
This is how people with zero talent get famous.
Oh, for crying out loud!!! Really? What a lame story.
The celebrity chef I'd love to meet is Bobby Flay. After watching this, he sounds like a real hoot of a guy. I wonder what secrets would come outabout you and your personality if I dug deep enough...
Face to face to a pro Chef not Amateur. .
I like him and his confidence
They certainly turned me off that chanel. Phoney smile.
You know what they say about little men 👏
The same thing they love you for they’ll always hate you for it as well 🤷🏽♂️
Comment section is just full of people who are jealous. Lol. Nobody here knows Bobby Flay, and anybody who really knows him wouldn’t tell us the “truth” anyway. It literally doesn’t matter. He seems happy enough, likes what he does, good for him. And yeah, you can’t make it that high without stepping on people. Don’t be a turd that gets stepped on, that’s all I have to say.
Please, for the love of whatever, have someone check your announcer’s pronunciation of Japanese names/words before signing off on publication.
Every video which involves her pronouncing one makes Peggy Hill sound like a native Spanish-speaker by comparison.
nothing about January Jones?
Does Bobby pay the judges on his show so he can win
Flay is the best I love his attitude He's the best if you don't like don't watch his shows
The only reason I tolerate Bobby flay cuz he was on Scooby doo 😂
Girl what😯
@@clandyy7081 Scooby-Doo and the gourmet ghost
A holes don’t last on TV for as long as he’s been on. This is click bate and I’m not buying all the “I heard” bs in the comments. I watch BBF all the time
Its funny, I can't really put my finger on a specific thing, he just gives me a bad feeling. Seems like a guy that can't be trusted.
I am in the business, there are always assholes in the kitchen, plus alcohol, drugs, this is icing on the cake, if people really knew the people cooking for them in the fancy restaurants, it would be a whole different shit show haha!
Why would the restaurant customers care about the moral profiles of the cooking staff?
@@deanronson6331 cause they cook the food....New restaurant in town called 66 steakhouse.Well known car dealership SON.
HIS restrauant got Fined.Cheesecake OLD,outdated.
@@m.walker7907 You're giving me one single example to bolster your cockamamie thesis? If we fired all the kitchen staff given to alcohol and drugs, half of the restaurants would have to close down. If we did the same to all employed Americans, the country would have to close down.
I've known Bobby to be humble, with women he might be a flirt but nice, only when serious about a woman does he open the budget so to speak, but great guy, fun to cook with, but is serious in the kitchen.. stories are stories sometimes
LOVE Bobby Flay he’s the best ❤️❤️❤️❤️✨🔥🔥🔥🔥🤤🤤🤤🤤🧑🍳🧑🍳🧑🍳🧑🍳
idk i feel like the making ppl lose in his show thing isnt like horrible bc they agree to be on his show and challenge him
Gordon called out lipmed D*** Bobby for years.
I've never liked Bobby Flay because he's arrogant. There's nothing wrong with being confident and knowing your worth, but this man is too full of himself. It's an ugly look. All he cooks is spicy foods and it gets old.
Hello, how are you doing, I'm John. Nice meeting you
Emeril Lagasse was the best cooking show, the food channel has some good chefs on in the 90s early 2000s now it's all Guy Fieri grocery games and head games
I like him
Too many sheep in his audience on the fraud/setup show referred to as " Beat Bobby Flay". His dishes are normally last for the tasting judges and, he spices up everything. I don't know if he's really good or just classically lucky.
The land THEY purchased? Pffft
U mean the land HE purchased
Not surprising at all
I still believe his shows are rigged.
if I could be honest with everyone here I think most of the things that’s being said is just 🐂💩 and made to slander Bobby Flay, it’s the same thing for Guy Fieri, I mean for the love of the lord please stop judging these people and let them live their lives for god sake I mean seriously what the hell is wrong with you people?!
the only chef worth watching is Pasquale Carpino... anyone else is a waste of time.
This is a hit piece give me a break.
Not for nothing but, on many of the throwdowns Bobby lost!!! So not sure y anyone would be crying
He's won about two-thirds of those shows.
@@deanronson6331He ALWAYS wins on 'Beat Bobby Flay' (how convenient) but on 'Throwdown' he loses
Cmon people... compared to Gordon Ramsey, he's an angel!
I grew up watching Bobby Flay. I actually think his confidence assisted me in not being so shy. Hey, if you’re good at what you do why not be happy about it? I know he seems like a jerk to some, but I’ve always loved watching his and just felt that he was very enthusiastic.
He could not hold Marcos pierre white and gordon knifes
My favorite food network guy
Never liked, Flay.
This dude cant cook, it was all rigged so he can win. Just look at the presentation and how it would really taste like. Jusf bad.
I see jealousy in all these posts.
Oh no so sad I loved bobby
sounds like a bunch of Waa-Waaa!
Bobby Flay is fun to watch! 😊
I dont watch this show anymore because the first juges cheat!! they go and taste the guys stuff then give hints outloud to Body right there waiting for it. like oh it's good and smoky and other stuff like this. So in cooking langage this means add peanut butter because that makes it smoky etc... wich Bobby does and all this helps him win when he should loose. NOT COOL!! I have seen this done too many times on this show. If you dont know what to do to win the fare way then take the loss Bobby, don't cheat!
I heard he’s dating Kevin Spacey?
I love Bobby and his arrogance. It's sexy in a man SOMETIMES
